Show .. THE PROGRESSIVE OPINION ' ! Never leave egg white after it has been beaten stiff. If let stand it will flatten and will not beat up again. If a can of paint is placed upside down for several hours before it is opened, it will not be necessary to ' mix it before using. f When serving grapefruit and or-anges in salads, use scissors and cut off all the white portion. Never empty the water in which spinach and other sandy vegeta-bles are washed into an enameled sink if you wish to keep it looking well. To soften shoe polish that has hardened pour a little turpentine over it. To remove whitewash from ceil-ing, dissolve one pound of alum in one gallon of strong vinegar. Ap-ply with a brush and let it soak in well. Then scrape and wash as usual. To prevent bacon curling notch the edges, before cooking, with a knife or scissors. Leaking faucets can waste gal-lons of hot or cold water in a few months. See that faucets are tight. Turn gas burners down when foods have begun to boil. Noth-ing is gained by too-rap- boiling. Do not sprinkle all your linen napkins when preparing for iron-ing. Dip every third napkin into clear warm water, place one be-tween two dry napkins, fold and roll together. Napkins dampened in this way are ironed easily. SEWING CIRCLE JCP ) 83S3 yrs.

T ALL started with a bright idea for making a simple, painted coffee table from odds and ends. The sketch at the lower left gives the dimensions and shows the sim-ple construction. Two end sec-tions were made first; the top and sides of these being fastened to-gether with metal angles, as illus-trated. A shelf was then nailed in and a lk by board nailed across the back of it. Two boards for the top of the table were then screwed to the end sections. So far the table was substantial but crude and that is where the lady with the needle came in. The table was to be painted putty color and then waxed. She bought a yard of slightly darker tan sateen and appliqued a design of bright blue and red morning glories and green leaves on it with stems and tendrils in green outline stitch. This was placed over the table top and tacked around the edge. A pieco of glass was then cut to fit and ? by From an old French word "mes" derived from the Latin word "missus" meaning a course at a meal, comes the Army's name "mess" for its breakfast, dinner, and supper.

""pHE little town of Brawley, Calif., woke up one morn-ing recently to find a motor-ized battalion of German troops, armed to the teeth-- lin-ing the streets. As the Mexi-can border's only 25 miles away, the townsfolk were a bit jittery. Then they took an-other look at the "invaders" and recognized them as Brawley high school boys, drafted by Columbia Pictures to represent a unit of the Nazi Afrika Korps in the picture "Somewhere in Sahara." Humphrey Bogart's starred in it. Janice Gilbert, who's twenty, has been acting since she was eight, has been on the radio since she was ten. On "The O'Neills" she plays "Janice O'Neill" and also an infant . f . I . , I ' '"X ) JANICE GILBERT and four children. But her most famous juvenile role is "Little Or-phan Annie" when she tours army camps, entertaining the boys, she gets vociferous requests for a ses-sion with "Annie." The night Ann Ayars, Metro star-let, sang for the boys at Fort Calif., she got a rousing reception, but could have dispensed with part of it. Arriving in a pour-ing rain, she was escorted to the hall by a new recruit who led her smack into a deep puddle at the stage door. Ann fell in to her hips. She says that most of what the soldiers saw of her was mud! Any Hollywood personage who dis-covers Lupe Velez watching him in-tently is likely to be uneasy; experi-ence shows that Lupe's just gather-ing material for a devastatingly fun-ny impersonation of him. Her imi-tations seldom reach the screen, but In "Redhead from Manhattan" she does several imitations of fellow stars. She plays identical cousins, both of whom are revue stars. Lionel Barrymore was in a dan-gerous spot a while back, and it wasn't one of those things that are part of a scenario, when the actor knows he'll be rescued. Driving home, he miscalculated the depth of flood water near his ranch, and found himself sitting in his stalled car in water up to his neck. The swift current started moving the car toward deeper water. But neigh-boring farmers came along with chains and hauled the car back onto the highway. The car was ruined, but the famous Barrymore wasn't damaged. When Robert Ryan joined the army he knew that he'd have a job when he came back; he has a con-tract with RKO that assures his re-turn to the screen at the war's end, at a salary exceeding the one he was getting when he left. His work in "Bombardier" and "The Sky's the Limit" was responsible for the scrapping of the old contract and the writing of the more favorable new-one- Eob Hope's set for another of those cross-countr- y tours of army, navy and marine posts and bases, which is good news for the men who'll benefit; he gives them a swell show. In fact, he probably works harder at entertaining servicemen than at anything else. Jack Miller, orchestra director for Kate Smith and "The Aldrich Fam-ily," can drop off to sleep any time. He dozed off in the studio before a recent "Aldrich Family" broadcast, so the cast slipped out and sent a page in to wake him and. explain that the program was over and all visitors must leave. He spent a frenzied five minutes before he caught up with the truth.

WPS A Released by Western Newspaper Union-rj. S. PRODUCTION IS BASIS OF WEALTH PRODUCTION is the foundation upon which is built our g national wealth, consisting of everything upon which a monetary value can be placed. Dividends from our national wealth, including wages, constitute our g annual incomes. In the early years of our Republic, that annual income represented less than S150 per capita. Today it is better than $700 per capita. Year after year, decade after decade, it has been more equitably divided. It is the increase in our annual income that has raised the standard of living for all of us in America. It has made possible better homes, automobiles, radios, washing machines, tele-phones, and all those things which make living for us easier than it was for our parents and grandpare-nts. It is machinepower of the present as against manpower of Dast een- - erations that has made increased production possible, and at the same time, reduced the hours of labor ' and the cost of production. With a tractor attached to a gang plow, the farmer tills more acres and in fewer hours than did his father with a team attached to a single plow share, turning one furrow at a time. The same thing is true in manufacturing plants. Power - driven machinery makes possible the mass production of automobiles. It reduces the cost of cars to a point where all can own them. It reduces the hours of labor and the sweat of manpower days. Production creates a demand for production to satisfy, and satisfying creates new jobs, which, in turn, create new demands. To place a limit on production in any line is but to stop progress, to break down the foundation upon which our well-bein- g is built. Our need is not less production, but in-creased facilities and speed in dis-tribution. That is the problem fac-ing not only the economists and statesmen of America, but those of the entire world. It is a problem which can be solved when applied to a world scale. It cannot be done by uttering idealistic phrases or by merely wishful thinking. It calls for ; the application of the nation's and the world's best brains, and it calls now. AMERICANS DO NOT LIKE TO BE PUSHED AROUND WAY BACK 150 years and more ago, England's German king, George III, tried to tell the Ameri-can people what to do and when to do it,, without telling them why and without saying "please." At Boston they slapped that Ger- - mail nms ox cugiduu in me race ana after a few years of armed con-troversy, they kicked him in the pants at Yorktown, and sent him home. That was America's first ex-- - perience with a bureaucrat. Since then the American people have selected leaders whom they ex-pect will lead and not drive. They expect leaders to tell them the 'what," "when" and "why" of do-ing things, with an accompanying "please." They have never been willing to be pushed around, but have been willing and anxious to be led. Whenever their leaders have attempted to become pushers, the American people have demonstrated a habit of dispensing with the servi-ces of those pushers, as they did with George III. They do not take kindly to bureaucratic methods or government by decree. LOCAL OFFICIALS KNOW THE REGULATIONS RECENTLY I listened to the head of a state rationing organization at-tempt to explain what rationing is all about and how it is done. After a brief statement as to the necessity of rationing, he offered to answer any questions members of the audi-ence might ask. The questions Poured in to the speaker. They were normal inquiries, the kind for which any head of a household, anxious and willing to obey the regulations, would like an answer. The speaker could not answer one in a dozen of those questions. He had either not read the voluminous and often con-tradictory instructions, or had not interpreted them. A member of the wn rationing board came to the fescue and did a satisfactory job of imparting detailed information which Uy satisfied those who asked the questions. All of the ability and wisdom is not centered in high Places. The federal official was drawing a handsome salary. The oral man received nothing for his wric, but he was a conscientious American.

A quiet honeymoon and then a cottage and two happy persons growing old together gracefully." The young man jumped up and reached for his hat. "Where are you going?" cried the startled girl.

Pigeons as Commandos Several hundred pigeons now being trained as carriers of mes-sages for the United States forces are undergoing a strenuous Com-mando course. To get them accustomed to the black-ou- t the birds, which nor-mally roost at night, are sent out in the darkness to make two-wa- y flights. They are also trained to return to roosts mounted on trail-ers which sometimes remain only a few days at one station. To get them ready for battle conditions aeroplanes are used to dive at them, and they fly amid exploding firecrackers. They are given medical attention, and, like the troops, they get leave. Aerial Freighters The world's largest carrier of aerial freight is the TACA line (Transposes Aereos ), which serves the seven countries of Central Ameri-ca with 56 planes, 30 radio sta-tions, 126 offices and 200 airports, says Collier's. Each day over its 7,000 miles of scheduled routes, are carried such articles as dy-namite, chicle, mahogany, foods, heavy machinery, household goods and work and meat animals. Incidentally, it is the only air-line in existence that owns a fly-ing oil tanker. Dehydrated Meat Beef is now being dehydrated, compressed and shipped without refrigeration to our troops and Al-lies. One ship, truck or freight car can carry as much meat as ten did a few years ago.
